Manfrotto XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate

This XPRO Magnesium Ball Head from Manfrotto features an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate. RC2 compatible quick release plates such as the 200PL-14 can be removed from the head by pulling the cam lock's spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be instantly reattached. The cam lock also features a safety catch to prevent the 200PL-14, or another compatible quick release plate from accidentally disconnecting.

The XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate has a load capacity of 33.1 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. By loosening this XPRO Magnesium Ball Head's primary locking knob, its ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. Toward the ball head's base is a secondary locking knob that controls the ability to rotate the head 360°. An additional knob opposite the secondary locking knob can be rotated to apply tension control to the ball-and-socket joint's movements.

Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the 200PL-14 quick release plate which measures 1.7 x 2.1 x 0.4" and has a rubberized, non-slip surface.

Solid Ball Head for your average user

I had been using a previous smaller head for a long time with a smaller DLSR and somewhat lighter lenses. But when I got my larger mirrorless camers and heavier lenses like a 24-70 F2.8 and a 70-200 F2.8 that smaller head just could not handle the weight once locked in it would always move slightly. The XPRO has no problem with setting your shooting point using the levers to lock in and it has no issues with the weight of the camera and lenses. Wish I would have bought this along time ago.

What is the difference between the 200PL-14 and ...

What is the difference between the 200PL-14 and the 200PL plates as are listed in the description? Thanks.
Asked by: Steven
Sorry for the confusion. There is no difference between them. The Manfrotto 200PL is the most commonly known name for their RC2-style quick release plate, but "200PL-14" is another technical SKU commonly employed by them; the "-14" they use refers to 1/4"-20 threads, and some of their other products have "-38" which refers to 3/8"-16 threads (not used in this case).

question

What's ball size? 38mm or 40mm?
Asked by: Anonymous
Manfrotto does not list that specification in any literature related to the ball size. Chances are it is 38mm but in general there is no reason for that size to be in the specifications. The ball if you had to replace that part does not come separate and is part of the enclosed mount. This is a link to the parts http://bit.ly/1JPcwc1.
